2007 - Will We Get Our Phil?Sorry, we don't have anything solid to report right now except that we have heard reliable rumors that Phil will do *something* this year and *not* maintain an overextended hiatus after his successful fight against prostate cancer. He'll be at Slims on 2.9 but what else? Rumors are starting to circulate about a possible P&F tour with the Allman Brothers Band. Another rumor has it that Phil is planning a summer tour with Bob Weir and Trey that will cross the country twice consisting of a total of sixty shows (supposedly a third will be on the East coast). Rumors continue to say that John Molo will be on drums and on the keys - Steve Winwood! Allegedly there will be a revolving door of opening bands. If rumors are true, they will be playing primarily stadiums where the parking lots will open very early every day and fans wil be allowed to camp overnight. Hang tight - we'll get our Phil!

I've been listening to a lot of Lesh and Friends lately but I have yet to any Ratdog or and anything Weir has done Post Dead. Anyone want to recommend their favorite shows or a good CD to start out with.

Bob Weir and the drummer from RatDog came into the store i work at last week. That was pretty cool. They got me on the guest list to their show but i couldn't make it cause i had to go to seattle the next day.. bleh. Still cool to meet him / shake his hand.

I have to agree. Of course Phil and Friends is pretty meh to me too. By the late 90's I was already beginning to prefer the Jerry Band to the Grateful Dead. It was always about Jerry for me, so when he died, there was no coming back.

You should listen to those Phil & Friends Beacon shows from last February
